Monday’s deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from the 2020 NBA draft has passed and with that, Big Ten rosters are firming up for the 2020-21 season.
In total, here’s how the Big Ten fared in terms of underclassmen returning to school versus those who opted to stay in the draft:
· Returning to school: Ayo Dosunmu, Kofi Cockburn, Isaiah Livers, Luka Garza, Aaron Henry, Marcus Carr, CJ Walker
· Staying in the draft: Daniel Oturu, Jalen Smith, Kaleb Wesson, Xavier Tillman
Several national writers – Jeff Goodman, Gary Parrish and Rob Dauster – have updated their preseason rankings since the deadline which provides a glimpse at how the league is being viewed with the fall semester just weeks away from beginning.
